Long story short: I met a girl at my university's undergrad gym. I approached her to chat, and she was receptive. We talked for about 10 minutes, she shared some personal stuff (interests, hobbies, where she was from, etc.) with me then she gave me her cell # after I had asked for it. I called her about a day or two later, she didn't answer, so I left a voice mail. She called me back like a min. later (so obviously she was screening her calls), we chatted for 10-15 minutes, and I asked her to meet later on in the week, at Starbucks for coffee at around 8 pm. She agreed.

Day of the "coffee date" comes (I think it was a Thur. night) and she stands me up. I wait for like 30 minutes then I head home. Upon arriving home, I see that she had emailed me while I was at Starbucks (I had forgotten my cell and left it at home). In her email she says that she is "sooooooooo sorry" for not being able to meet, but she had to pick up a package at the local UPS depot in the next town over, and she had gotten lost going there and knew that she was not going to be back in time for our date, blah blah blah, but that still like to get together, maybe some other time over that weekend, and for me to let her know if I would still be available to meet.

Final Paragraph: I didn't respond to her email for an hour or so, and when I did I said, "yeah, no problem, I am just headed to a friend's house to hang out tonight anyway. I guess we can just put our heads together and figure out another time to meet whenever we talk or run into each other at the gym again. Take care." <---She never responded to that email, and the next time we ran into each other at the gym (about a week or so later) she gave me this scared/nervous look (bulging eyes and everything) and basically turned heel and ran/"fast-walked" away from me as soon as we made made eye contact. Obviously, after that, we never had any further contact.

So, any thoughts regarding what was up with this chick? I appreciate the honesty on this board, so I would appreciate your honest thoughts/opinion as to what happened with her. Thanks. I have my own theory, but I would like to hear some of ya'lls first before I share mine.

well, if you can read social cues you can tell whether that look was nervous " i like you look" or nervous " he is a creep look".. Don't get me wrong but many guys don't see the difference between those two and they end up chasing and getting shut down hard towards the end when they don't have a clue things where going that way.. I would suggest you hit her up again and meet up with her asap.. Don't wait to long until the situation is perfect (it never is).. When you see her tease about how nervous she got when you saw her at the gym too.

^^^no offense, KimPa, but I think you misunderstood that section of my post. She was scared sh*tless when I tried to approach her again in the gym and she literally ran away from me down side hallway. I think you might have to re-read my entire original post, because it seems that you skipped some parts, haha!

None taken.. Nonetheless, you should still hit her up soon, and meet up with her..

She stood you up and had the option to text/phone you to let you know, but chose to send an email with a REALLY lame excuse. She is telling you "I AM NOT INTERESTED, I ONLY GAVE YOU MY NUMBER TO BE POLITE, I WOULD RATHER COLLECT POST THAN MEET YOU, PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE". Then she ran away to get as far away from you as possible. You are 100% creep to her, no doubt about it.

She's not interested. Move on.

HunterFoxe, I appreciate your refreshing dose of brutal honesty. Thank you.

No worries bro. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

If she was really that scared of you, I might analyze your interactions with her, to some degree. Sometimes it's just some shit went down in her past, but sometimes you might find you came on waaaay too intimidating at some point, and then you can avoid doing that in the future if you figure it out when or how.

DO NOT ask her. Don't even approach her, really. Remember men are bigger than women, and being intimidated by your physical bigness isn't abnormal. I'm not saying give her the cold shoulder, or stop attending that gym, but I don't think you should initiate anything with her at this point, even a friendly greeting; I say this just because you describe her as being utterly terrified, and because you're here asking, I'm sure that wasn't your intention! lol
